Remember the adage: if you’re not paying for it, YOU are the product.

I believe there is a push to reduce/cut out 3rd party apps so that the “parent” site has more traffic driven towards their official app, so that they have more data (ie, the value you as a user provide to them) coming to them directly.

I feel like this is going to happen more and more with these companies in order for them to extract as much value as they can, thsu ensuring the Enshittification of the internet in general.
